Hmm.. That explains your issue. The home directory is created when you
setup the users, not like the profile when the user logs in. If you're
using local paths, then that's probably when they are not created. Why are
you using local paths? Home drives should be in a centralized location,
separate from the profile. If you have applications that need a path into
the profile, you can setup an application compatibility drive.
(C:\WINDOWS\Application Compatibility Scripts\chkroot.cmd)

Ok, I do have this test user set to map a U: drive and specify a home
folder, so that covers WINDOWS.
The My Documents folder itself creates fine, it's the home folder itself
that wasn't being created at the first logon. But I now see that when I
specify the home folder in ADU&C, at that time is the folder created, so
that works for me.
Now, this is going to sound very newbish, but if I have the home path set as
local path, and no path specified, it uses the users default profile path on
that machine?
To specify a path, it has to be a valid drive letert, but as long as I
specify something next to local path, it will use that location?
What, aside from the WINDOWS folder is directed to the home path? I've
never used anything but local path (with no path specified) in all these
years, which is why this sounds newbish.
And lastly, since I've got users logging into a regular PC desktop, and then
into Citrix via PNAgent, I only set roaming profile on the terminal server
tab. I'm wondering if I should set the home path on that tab only, as
opposed to the general tab. The answer to what gets directed to the home
path would help me answer that, as I don't want to have to deal with a lot
of traffic to read stuff in the home folder.

The windows folder is created if one of the home folder location options is
populated in Ad users and computers or usrmgr.
If not its put in a users profile.
Folder redirection in an AD environment ( for me) has always created the My
Documents so long as the users home folder exists.

Should the GPO for my docs redirections also create the users folder, or is
that necessary to create yourself all the time? From my testing, it seems I
must create it myself for every user who I am redirecting.
It also puts the WINDOWS folder in the same users folder, but I don't have
any other GPO set except My Docs redirection. Why is a windows folder
showing up?
